Act 1

Narrator : Once upon a time, in a place deep inside theforest, there were a green
giant named Buto Ijo and a sacred hermit. They were bestfriends since
toddlers. One day, the hermit came to the grotto to see his bestfriend.
Hermit : Is anyone inside? [Walks inside the grotto]
Buto Ijo : I’m here.
Hermit : There you are my best friend, what are you doing?
Buto Ijo : Eating. Isn’t it obvious?
Hermit : Oh… I see. What are you eating?
Buto Ijo : [No response,just continue eating]
Hermit : You’re so annoying! Can I have some?

Buto Ijo : [Turns his body away, not willing to share hisfoods with the hermit]
Hermit : [Angry] As usual, you never share me your foods though I always
shared mine to you! You stingy giant! I loathe you!
Buto Ijo : As if I care! [Continue eating]
Hermit : Someday your greed will get its return! Don’t regret it! I’m leaving!
[Gets out of the grotto with anger]

Act 2
Narrator : One day, there was pleasant couple. They lived in a village near the
forest. They lived happily. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any children
yet. Everyday they prayed to Godfor a child.
Mother : Oh God… please give us a child. I promise I will always protect my
child. Please answer our prayer. Thank you God.

Narrator : The green giant, Buto Ijo, coincidentally passed by the couple’s house.
He heard what they were prayingfor.
Buto Ijo : Whoa…ha…ha…ha! I heard that!
Mother : [gasps] Oh my God! W-Who are you?
Buto Ijo : I’m Buto Ijo.
Mother : Oh my husband, Buto Ijo is in front of our house. I’m scared. He will
kill both of us!
Buto Ijo : Whoa…ha…ha…ha… I’m not going to kill you. But I will fulfill your
request to have a child.
Father : You are just joking, aren’t you?
Buto Ijo : No…No… I’m serious, yes, I’m really serious. If you don’t believe me
it doesn’t matter.
Mother : All right… All right. Let’s see what he can do to help us.
Buto Ijo : [Gives the seeds] Look, here are some cucumber seeds. Plant these
seeds, then you’ll get a daughter.
Mother : Do you mean it? It’s so easy.
Buto Ijo : Yes, I mean it. But remember, on her seventeenth birthday, I’ll come
back to take the girl.
Mother : But…but… Alright , alright. Okay, i’ll take your offer.
Mother : [Bows down] Thank you a lot, Buto Ijo!
Buto Ijo : Whoa…ha…ha…ha. See you again seventeen years from now, humans.
And remember your promise. [Go away]

Act 3
Narrator : The next day, the couple planted the seeds. Months later, a golden
cucumber grew in the yard. The cucumber was getting bigger and
bigger each day.
Mother : Wow! Look! The cucumber grew very big! It’s so fantastic!
Mother : It’s ripe already. Does it work? How can this big thing give us
a daughter?
Mother : I think it’s time to open it up. I wonder what makes it’s so big.
Let’s cut it into two.

Narrator :Carefully, they cut the cucumber into two. To their surprise, theyfound
a beautiful baby girl inside the cucumber. Howjoyful they were.
Mother : [gasps] Oh my goodness! There is a baby girl inside this cucumber!
Is it for real? Or am I dreaming?
Mother : [Holds the baby out] This baby is so cute! God, thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Mother : I think I will name her Timun Mas, Because she came from the
cucumber and she is cute. That name really suits her.

Act 4
Narrator : Years passed by and Timun Mas grew into a lovely girl. Her parents
were very proud of her but their hearts hurt so badly when they
remembered their promise to Buto Ijo. The couple then
remembered that there was a sacred hermit living inside theforest.
So they went
there for the help.
Mother : [Knocking the door] Excuse us.
Hermit : [Comes toward the door and opens it] May I ask who you are?
Mother : My name is Srini. I’m a farmer who lives in a village near the forrest.
Hermit : What do you want from me?
Mother. : I need your help.
Hermit : Okay, please come in. Tell me the whole story.

Narrator : Mother told the hermit about their wish and how Buto Ijofulfilled it.
And also the promise they made with the Giant. The hermit listened to
them carefully as him noddedfor the umpteenth time, until the couple
finished their story.
Hermit : As expected, Buto Ijo did horrible thing as he wished. His
greed explained everything. We need to do something.
Mother : Please, good Hermit, help us. Don’t let Buto Ijo take one
dearest daughter. She’s been with us for seventeenth years.
What should I do?
Hermit : Look, here is the bundle. There are four things and messages inside.
They will help Timun Mas run away from the giant.
Mother : [Takes the bundle] Are you sure they will work?
Hermit : Believe me, it will. Buto Ijo must be punished for his action.
Mother : Thank you very much, good hermit!

Act 5
Narrator : It so happened that one day on Timun Mas’s seventeenth birthday, Buto
Ijo camefor the couple’spromise.
Buto Ijo : Whoa…ha…ha... Hey, peasant, where is your lovely daughter? I come
here to pick her up. Remember the promise you said to me!
Mother : Please be patient, Buto Ijo. Timun Mas, my daughter, is playing in the
field. field.
Buto Ijo : What a shit! I know you’re lying! But never mind, I’ll find her by
myself! [Turns away tofind Timun Mas]
Mother : I’m glad he’s gone. Timun Mas, come here, child.
TimunMas : Yes, Mom, I’m coming. Who’s that?
Mother : He is Buto Ijo, the green giant. For some reason, he’s looking for you.
I’m sure he’ll come back here soon.
TimunMas : Oh my God, what’ll he do to me?
Mother. : Listen to me, Timun Mas, all you have to do is run away from him.
[Gives the bundle to Timun Mas] Take this bundle with you. It contains
chili seeds, salt, cucumber seeds, and shrimp paste.
TimunMas: What should I do with these?
Mother : Throw each of them when the giant gets closer to you. These will help
you get away from the giant.
TimunMas : What about you, mom ?
Mother : Don’t worry about us. Oh my God, the giant is coming! Now, run,
Timun Mas! Run as fast as you can! Please be careful!
TimunMas : Thank you, mom! You too please take care of yourselves!
[Runs away]

Act 6
Narrator : After that, the giant chased Timun Mas and he was getting closer and
closer. Timun Mas then took a handful of saltfrom the bundle. She
spread out the salt and magically a wide sea appeared between them.
TimunMas : Take that you evil giant!
Buto Ijo : [Smirks] Ho…ho…ho. You think you can run away from me! No way
in hell! Whoa…ha…ha…ha. C’mon I’ll get you! [Swims through the
sea]
TimunMas : Oh my God! How did he do that?? I don’t know he can swim!
Buto Ijo : Wait for me, you little girl!
TimunMas : Oh no! He’s getting closer to me. There’s no other choice! Take this,
giant!

Narrator : And then she took the chili seeds and threw them at the giant. Suddenly
the seeds grew into some trees and trapped him. The next thing he
knew, the trees grew some thorns as sharp as a knife.
Buto Ijo : Ouch…Ouch! How the hell these trees grew into thorns?? It hurts
badly!
TimunMas : Take that one too, evil creature!
Buto Ijo : So, you want to play with me huh? You’ll regret it when you lose!
TimunMas : Oh no! He is still chasing me! I must run faster!

Narrator : Once again, the giant almost caught Timun Mas. So, Timun Mas took
the cucumber seeds and threw them onto the ground.
Buto Ijo : What now? What’s this? Cucumbers are everywhere! They look
delicious! I guess it’s better for me to have appetizers first.
TimunMas : Hosh…Hosh…Oh I’m out of breath. But the giant was eating the
cucumbers. This is my chance to run away!
Buto Ijo : [Yawns] Whoaaah…I’m very sleppy. I want to sleep first. After that I’ll
find Timun Mas. Wait for me girl, I’ll come and make you my dinner
tonight!

Narrator : Timun Mas kept on running asfast as she could. But soon she was very
tired herself. And things were getting worse as the giant had woken up.
Buto Ijo : Whoaaah…I’m fresh again! Hey, Timun Mas, you can’t run away from
me. I’ll get you! Hohoho …
TimunMas : Oh, God, he has woken up! What shall I do, God? Please help me!
Buto Ijo : So, you want to play hide and seek, don’t you? Where are you? C’mon,
c’mon little girl… come to your papa!
TimunMas : God! Please help me!!
Buto Ijo : There you are, little girl! One more step and I’ll catch you!
TimusMas : This is my last hope! [Throws something] Take that, Buto Ijo!
Narrator : Desperately she then threw her last weapon, the shrimp paste.
Magically, the paste turned into a big swamp.
Buto Ijo : Oh, no, what’s this? It’s so sticky and smells fishy! Timun Mas…! I
swear I will swallow you as soon as I catch you!

Narrator : The giantfell into the swamp but his hands almost reached Timun Mas.
Suddenly the swamp pulled him to the bottom and his hands lost her.
TimunMas : Finally I’m free!
Buto Ijo : Oh, no… help! Help me! Someone help me!
TimunMas : No one will help you, giant, because you’re a bad person.
Buto Ijo : Please help me…!! I swear I won’t do something bad again! Promise
me!
Hermit : [comes out of the blue] Are you sure about your words?
Buto Ijo : Arggh… Hermit! Finally you come! Please help me!
TimunMas : [shocks] Who are you?
Hermit : [Turns hisface to Timun Mas] Ah, am I scared you? Let me introduce
myself. I am a hermit. So just call me hermit. You don’t need to know
my real name. And this giant is my best friend.
Buto Ijo : Yes, I am his best friend! Please get me out of here!
Hermit : [Turns back to Buto Ijo] I will help you out if you promise you won’t
do bad things again and stop being a greedy person.
Buto Ijo : Yes, I promise! I promise I will be a good person! You can count on
me!
Narrator : Finally, the good hermit helped Buto Ijo, his bestfriend. As soon as the
giant got out of the swamp, it was disappear. Then the giant apologized
to Timun Mas as well as to the hermit. Fortunately they bothforgave
him. From then on, Buto Ijo lived as a good giant and always helped
the peasants with theirfields. Asfor Timun Mas, she lived happily with
her parents with nofear anymore.
